Summary:Addison-Cato, Act V. sci.1(11) Indonesia's divergent histories of several centuries read as clashes of imperialisms imposed by foreign intrusions of trade and commerce.12 Intense testings of ethnic wills occur which coalesce into sharp cultural cleavages between Javanese traditionalism and neo-traditionalism (core Hindu, Buddhist, animisi) and santri (orthodox) Muslim ways of life. With this singular cultural dynamic in the form of high civilizations, several kinds of imperialisms infused into the vast archipelagic region.\n They refuse to wear the headscarf and young women wear mini-skirts in Jakarta malls defying the policing of the Islamists. Even if successful in subjugating the entire island of Java, expansion outward would be a horrendous undertaking with the scattered islands filled with resentful populations of Christians, Hindus and animists encased in strong ethnic identities taking stands against Islamism.34 The Majapahit culture with its unique Java religion is a deeply rooted tap root.
